At the age of forty-five,my usually well-ordered life became full of changes.After twenty-two years of working in a bank,a plan to use less staff led to the unemployment of over one hundred people.Unluckily,I was one of them.
My once good future became uncertain.However,I was not a single parent,so the family did not depend only on my income and my husband can support the family.My motto(格言)has always been,"Change is good;change is progress,but when it affected my life,I had to change it.Accept change and make the most of it." From the beginning,I chose to look at this matter not as bad luck,but as a welcome chance.I refused to become sorry;instead,I actively planned to do something new and different.
Having a positive attitude made all the difference in the way I pursued(追求)the future.First,I decided to return to college and graduate many years later than I should have.Doing this at my age took more than a little courage.Not being a graduate had never held me back in my career in the bank,but now it's a personal goal I was looking forward to achieving.With a lot of determination,I went to evening classes and became an adult student.In the class,I became more and more confident.During this time,I realized that no matter what life throws in our way,nothing can hinder our personal growth.
The second thing I did to improve my inner self was to reevaluate(評(píng)價(jià))my past life.It used to be filled with endless,and sometimes meaningless events.But now,my heart and life are completely around people I care for.
The loss of my job led to some positive changes in my life.Revisiting the past made room for the future.I realize that I have accepted the change,and am making the most of it.
